Nate, Good luck on this. If it was me, and I've thought about it from time to time, I would have done it in Python first. The syntax and high level aspects are so much easier than C/C++ IMO, and execution speed probably isn't critical.
It seems that logging is a very personal thing. I haven't found an ideal answer for my own needs, but I'm not sure my needs match anyone else's. This is mainly a front-end issue (GUI, KB interface), while the backend (db, data exchange, LOTW, what have you) is probably a lot more generic. Which might suggest a two-part solution that would appeal to a wider audience? 73 Martin AA6E On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 6:25 PM, Nate Bargmann <n...@n0nb.us> wrote: > Hi all. > > I've starting hacking on a contest logger.
